Three weeks ago, Anime Diet was seized by Kyubey in a hostile takeover, in order to drive innocent girls to make Puella Magi contracts.

Has it already been 4 years? Yes it has! Anime Diet, which started as a humble little website called Scattered Cels (see our embarrassing first post here), turns four years old today!

Today, Anime Diet turns three years old! In addition to a new site layout, the staff would like to say a few words to all of you, our loyal readers and listeners, for being with us since 2006.
Welcome to version 4.5 of Anime Diet! As you can see, things look a little different–but not too different. It’s more of an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary upgrade, because there is actually a much more radical layout shift that’s coming in the months ahead–but I figured it was time, on this our third anniversary, [...]
